Menthol ci******es have been heavily marketed in Black communities for decades — contributing to higher rates of to***co-related disease and addiction.

This No Menthol Sunday, we stand together to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support healthier futures.

Menthol makes smoking easier to start and harder to quit, but the Louisiana To***co Control Initiative (TCI) can help you start your quit journey today.

💚 Talk to your family.
💚 Support quitting efforts.
